Ludo friend!! thank you for screening Labyrinth - was really neat to see my childhood favourite movie on the big screen! I hope you guys do this more often, movies these days are rarely any good, so screening old school movies is a great idea!!

This is a really nicely located cinima. The area is clean and right by a very nice food court. I would definitely recommend this cinima for its cleanliness and range of seating options available.

We saw the Lord of the Rings here for the 25th anniversary, it was a great screen and the chair beds were super comfy maybe just a little too close to the screen. Only down side was I asked for some water and they tried to charge me $10 .. great cinema though
